Summary: They finally get to make their big announcement
Callum had been impressed with McKinnon- Marlene's planning. The dining room was a lot less informal than many of the stuffy rooms in purebloods' homes. To be honest, most of the house was very relaxed and had a homy feeling that Callum hadn't noticed before. The table had been made longer to accomodate the twenty-seven people present. The seats had been assigned so that everyone had people they could talk to near them, not that it was difficult considering that the majority of them were Weasleys, but he supposed that in big families there had to be people who like each other more or less.
The food had been a simple affair, or as simple as someone like Marlene would come up with. It started with Asparagus Appetizers, followed byWatercress Soup, Beef Wellington , Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts, Carrot Custard , Bread and Butter Pudding and finally the cake shaped as a dragon. It wasn't simple in terms of a reserve, but at least they were English recipes that he'd know how to pronounce as opposed to some foreign dish that required a translator to say it.
With the cake, there was champagne, and Callm knew that he couldn't wait anymore. He cleared his throat, waiting to see if people would quiet down, but getting that many people - Weasleys - to quiet down wasn't an easy task. "If I could have everyone's attention," he said loudly, the same way he would give orders to his keepers. "Thank you. I-- Charlie and I have something to tell all of you. We wanted to announce it with everyone present." He look at Charlie for a moment, and then to everyone else. "We got engaged. We're planning to get married on the eleventh of June of next year."
